Happy Birthday, Machara!

Happy Birthday, Machara!  February is always interesting.  :)  Standard birthday fare...started with make a face pancakes.  I'm getting really good at making plate sized pancakes!  The girls really just like the spray whipped cream.  And the chocolate chips.  I don't blame them.

Another giant haul!

Mac got her own watercolors, which she plans on guarding religiously from use by her sisters.

This fun little present is an attachment for a scooter that holds a piece of chalk, so as she zips about, she draws on the ground.  Pretty cool.

Mac was excited to take her class little surprises.

And she came home with her class having celebrated her!  A crown and a balloon, and a little booklet of cards made by her class.  A VERY cute idea.

Tonight we headed up to Grandmere's house for dinner and celebration.  More presents!

And birthday donuts!

Make a wish, Mac!

Six years old!  Wow, how time flies!  Happy Birthday, Mac!  Hope it was a great one!

Came home from Vegas yesterday.  It was surprisingly difficult to leave Derek and come back home.  He is becoming very important to me.
